The 530 has great battery life, even with the screen always on - probably on the order of 15-20 hours with the Varia. If you really want to extend the battery life, put it in to Battery Save Mode and it'll turn the screen off until you have a Varia notification, a text, an upcoming turn on a course or if you hit a button to see your info. I've done a century in battery save mode and got home with 77% battery left.
